[Q] AOSP or CM based ROM with Flash Lite 4? - Click General

Hello,
Since I'm new here, I couldn't post this thread to the development section, I think it might fit better in there.
Anyway, I really like the new CM7 2.3 ROM and the latest AOSP 2.2 ROM from fyodor. Both have Tattoo hardware working fully (FM and Camera too!) and with considerable performance improvement. Minus the clutter from the Sense UI
The only thing I miss from my old Sense ROMs is Flash Lite support. So far I have found one ROM that is particularly promising. This excellent port from HTC Wildfire made by Dexter, has Flash Lite 4 support and www.playerversion.com reports its Flash Player version as FL 10,1,123,425. (Flash Lite 4) I guess that's as good as it gets on an ARMv6 processor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816580
My idea is to somehow include this Flash Lite player in an AOSP or CM based ROM. I have some programming skills in C and Java, so I can also compile from source and modify or debug code if needed. I will be very glad if experienced Android developers can point me in the right direction
For now, my basic efforts of including this Flash Lite 4 player as add-on files to AOSP and CM7 failed. CM7 was a far shot anyway, but I have made some progress on AOSP. I extracted FlashPlayer.apk, FlashLitePlugin.apk from the /system/app/ and libflashlite.so, libflashliteplugin.so, libflashsnddec.so from the /system/lib/ folder of Dexter's TatFroyoSense v0.4 mod (Android 2.2). I patched these into Fyodor's froyo_AOSP_Tattoo_v0.33 (Android 2.2) using dsixda's Android Kitchen and built the zip file. It flashes fine and even HTC Flash Player seems nicely installed! But when I open a flash web-page, no joy for me (sigh)... Some logcat entries are below:
During boot:
W/PackageManager( 126): Unknown permission android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN in package com.htc.flashliteplugin

When I visit a flash site with the browser:

I/dalvikvm( 354): Unable to open or create cache for /system/app/FlashLitePlugin.apk (/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected])
E/webkit ( 354): Can't find plugin's class: com.htc.flashliteplugin.FlashView

Any ideas? I'm not sure if I'm on the right track here, any help is much appreciated.

Hello,
I guess not many people are interested in Flash anymore Anyway, I have a partial solution, which I find good enough for daily use for now. Unfortunately it's not based on CM or AOSP...
I took Dexter's TatFroyoSense v0.4, stripped down some Sense UI stuff, replaced home screen with ADW Launcher and copied the Camera app and dependencies from FroYo AOSP for Tattoo v0.3 made by cn.fyodor. So now my Tattoo has Flash Lite 4, and everything works except for video recording and FM radio! Since I don't really use the last 2 features I haven't spent much time debugging them. I plan to achieve the opposite, that is moving Flash Lite 4 to CM or Froyo AOSP when I have more time. The speed and agility of the device is much better in these two ROMs.
----EDIT - 19.04.2011----
You can find the newest TolgaMOD in this thread:
TolgaMOD discussion thread
In v1.2 speed is greatly improved, I think it's close to AOSP and CM. I also included an overclock utility. I use it daily with min 576 MHz and max 672 MHz settings.
Here are some screenshots below. You can see that Alien Attack game from miniclip.com works nicely and is very playable. It definitely did NOT run on Tattoo Stock ROM + Flash Lite 3.

great work keep it up
i followed you here from the cynogenmod forums . I have a commtiva z71 clone I have flashed cynogenmod 7 rc2 rom and I was searching for a way to install flash lite on cyanogen and found that I needed sense roms keep up your good work ..keeping my fingers crossed for a working flash plugin on arm6

I don't know much about custom roms but didn't most of the sense features require HTC framework?
Sent from my HTC click using XDA App

Yes, I beleive so. I haven't yet figured out the exact dependencies of the Flash Lite plug-in. But I'm still looking If anyone knows a quick way of identifying the dependencies of an APK file, that would also help a lot. Right now I'm runnning the app, firing logcat and looking for errors. So it's basically trial and error, which takes time...

Will be great if anybody can resolve finally the flash player working with Nfinity GB as well...I am still waiting

Actually I'm trying to make Flash Lite 4 work on Nfinity GB 1.20 right now I will post here how it goes.

Nfinity ROM 1.20 had the same symptoms like any other non-HTC rom:
Simply copying the Flash APK's and .so files doesn't help with the included Browser, and it reports "no flash plug-in" with no errors. (Flash Player and plug-in seem nicely installed) When I copy the HTC ROM Browser to Nfinity ROM it doesn't work and it FCs.
Since I don't have the Flash Lite 4 source, it's sort of a shot in the dark right now, but I think it's good practice My best shot is still the TatFroyoSense v0.4 custom mod above, I'll keep you posted.
It seems my custom mod is getting more practical each day, I will post it as a separate [ROM] if it's better than any currently available. My goals are: CPU overclocking, simplicity and everything working including Flash, Camera, VCR and FM Radio on ARMv6 + Android 2.2 or 2.3. So it's basically AOSP or CM with Flash Lite for ARMv6, maybe other developers can beat me to it

STATUS UPDATE
I'm now following 2 different routes to get a fully working Froyo or Gingerbread ROM on HTC Tattoo, including Flash Lite 4:
METHOD 1: Patch Flash Lite to an AOSP or CM 2.2, 2.3 ROM
Well, since I don't have the Flash Lite or the HTC browser's source files, it seems the only option I've left now is: reverse engineering Since I will not modify or use the manufacturer's code in any way, I guess I should be legally OK. That way, I can find out exactly which files or classes these apps depend on. If I can make some headway in that department, I can patch the dependencies into a custom AOSP or CM build. If anyone knows an easier way to check for dependencies, now might be a good time to tell
METHOD 2: Make Camera, VCR, FM Radio apps work on a Sense based 2.2, 2.3 ROM
This route seems actually less challenging, since we actually have the source files of the Camera and FM Radio apps. I'm just not sure if an HTC Sense based ROM can be as fast as CM or AOSP. Probably not, so this is my second choice. The current "workaround" Custom ROM I use, which I mentioned above is going in this direction. It already started looking like Frankenstein, lol! Not very streamlined at this stage, but it surely works.
I'll keep you posted.

Keep up the great work!
Can you post your patched ROM with Sense and working Camera here or tell me exactly the way of doing this???
I´ve tried a lot and it never works!

I will check with Dexter who made the TatFroyoSense ROM, if I can publish my custom version. For a quick solution on your ROM, check out my post for Nfinity_GB, below. Still camera works, video camera doesn't. I attached the same patch to this post also, just renamed the .zip file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12404221&postcount=729
I think this "Still Camera patch" should work on all 2.2 ROMs including TatFroyoSense. I will be glad if you can report if it works in your case.
Full credits go to Fyodor and Kalim for this patch. I just put their work in a .zip package

If Android has a package manager like other Linux-based OS, it might specify the dependencies. Otherwise it's very unlikely. The only way would be to track the files used by the program. Will it even be possible to split the framework without braking it. As I said, I'm only a newbie. Keep that in mind, please.
Sent from my HTC click using XDA App

Hey Malitai, thanks for the comments. Unfortunately there's no "sudo apt-get install" or "Synaptic" type of app for Android, I wish there were such a thing
Yes, my plan is exactly "breaking", that is reverse engineering closed source apps and inspect the open source ones, to find out the required libraries and classes. As long as I don't publish the closed sources, use the reverse engineered code for profit or harm the manufacturer in some way, it should be OK to reverse engineer their software for educative purposes. Actually many open source projects started out like this.
I have found some pretty nice tools for reverse engineering Android DEX files. All apps including the framework can be decompiled in this manner:
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ Wow! This one unpacks a dex file to jar format! I'll see how well that works..
The library .so files are a bit more complicated, since they are programmed in C, not Java. I think it makes more sense to disassamble a C app, rather than trying to decompile it. The resulting C code is not pretty. Well, luckily I know some Assembler as well, hopefully enough to read and hack a few things in the disassembled code if needed
I don't think I need to dig into library hacking for now, I guess I just need to identify the libraries referenced in the apps, and include them in my ROM.

@ Dennis0_0
Dexter has patched his TatFroyoSense v0.4 and the native Camera app works now! So his ROM is only missing Video Rec and FM Radio currently, and features a full blown Sense UI (It's from HTC Wildfire). Flash Lite 4 works nicely out of the box.
He also encouraged me to publish my "Lite" version, yay! I will do that in the following days. Let me do some alpha testing myself first

You can find my custom version of Dexter's TatFroyoSense here:

Can u make Flashlite work on LG OPTIMUS ONE P500.??? It also has armv6 processor and has better config than HTC Wildfire.. Please reply

Well, I haven't yet found a way to extract Flash Lite 4 from a Sense ROM and make it installable on another. It requires HTC framework and some other libraries.
I can try to port my mod with Flash Lite to P500 if you like.

Thanks for the reply Do whatever that makes flash work on armv6, extract from sense rom and provide the apk or port it to ur mod.. HTC made it possible on armv6 so HTC STOCK Rom will have the answer
If flashlite works on P500 that will be very helpful for millions of ppl. Please take ur time.

Any progress on this? Im on an armv6 eris running 2.3.3 and would like see this stripped out and ported.

Unfortunately not yet.. I'm not too optimistic about 2.3.3. I'm currently working on making 2.2 work, since we already have a working Flash Lite 4 player and plugin for 2.2.1.
I took the easier path for now, that is stripping away the "unnecessary" parts from an HTC 2.2 Sense ROM with Flash included and making everything else work. I hope I will gain more info through this method.
As far as my current research goes, it seems like HTC Flash Lite plug-in depends on the HTC framework as well as some other HTC libraries. So even if I found and replaced all of these files, it may render you other apps unusable. I think the "Flash fix" should somehow decompile the target platform's framework, inject needed code and recompile. Since this would be quite impractical for end-users, if the method works, probably devs in each platform would release a ROM including this kind of "fix". Also some devs might not like the idea, since they are deliberately trying to remove HTC code to avoid copyright issues. I think my kind of fix, should not be a problem at least for HTC users.
So it's pretty much a work in progress, and the workaround for now is using an HTC Sense ROM and customizing it to your taste. dsixda's Android Kitchen provides a very simple interface for end-users.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
1. Make 100% sure you are at Bootloader 1.2
2. Recommend using Clockworkmod v3.0.2.8 (Bootloader 1.2) tools for flashing.
These are CM7 based ROMs for gtablet with bootloader 1.2(ZPAD T2 should work. But no confirmation from any one yet). It is an integration of different CM7 based rom build and Clemsyn ver 11 1.5ghz Kernel / Pershoot 1.4ghz Kernel (bootloader 1.2) with some tweak learning from Calkulin's Rom. It is pretty similar to Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 6, while it is for gingerbread.
All the credit goes to the authors of the based rom and kernel. Special thanks to Roebeet for his excellent works on gtablet.
Features:
1. Overclocked by default (max frequesy adjusted by battery level) (For Clemsyn's kernal, check on his original kernel post on how to undervolt with pimpmycpu)
2. Tweaked internal storage & SD card read speeds
3. Annoying ads in programs are blocked
4. Calkulin's battery saving script
Issues:
1. usb pc mount does not work on Clemsyn's kernel

For those who want to build the CM7.1 RC1 or nightly build, take these steps:
1. grab the cm7.1 build, grab pershoot/clemsyn GB kernel for BL1.2, grab the build_script from my cm7.1 rc0 rom.
2. merge the pershoot kernel ans system directory into the cm7.1 build. replace any files if it already existed. replace the build_script with the build_script in my rom.
3. zip them and you should have a cm7.1 for BL1.2 with pretty much the same as BL 1.1. Make sure the directory structure is correct in the zip file.
4. you could use this trick for pretty much all the GB roms based on cm7 mixed with any GB kernel
Warning: this is not and not intend to be a detail instruction. you should at least have certain degree of knowledge about what is going on with this and what this is all about to build a rom. If you brick your device by any chance, I am definitely NOT the right one you would look after. If you are not sure, wait someone else to build the rom for you.

Downloading now! Thanks!
Feels good. It is very smooth. Quadrant scores 3400 out the gate. Very cool.
Is the nvrm_daemon edited in this rom to bring the refresh up to 60?
Wondering if I still need to install this to take the refresh up.
Vlad_z said:
For those with CM7.0.3 you may want to try this version of nvrm_daemon.
I took original file from my CM7.0.3 stable ROM and modified it to have 60Hz update rate.

A nice option for 4349 users who don't want to risk jumping back to 1.1. Thanks for setting these up!
I've been requesting that the cyanogenmod devs actually consider doing this, as well. I also heard a rumor (and it's just a rumor) that a new stock ROM is in the works, and will likely replace 4349 and be on 1.2 as well. So I personally think it's in our best interest to start moving to 1.2 (plus that's likely to be what any HC ROM will be on).

any chance of froyo on 1.2?

Already done, just not here on XDA. I started posting again after a 2 month hiatus, but I'm not moving my 1.2 ROMs here except as a link (and I'm not permitted to do that).
Google "gtablet 1.2 firmware" and you'll find them.

so on slatedroid?
i only see 7 roms on there. And i mean a froyo NON TNT based rom. you have one over there?

Brilliant Corners. It feels just like froyo with some tablet tweeks. The only UI diffference I notice in tnt base roms is the notification bar and system settings.

Brilliant Corners, as just mentioned, and Century Eyes. The latter used to be "gAdam" here on XDA but I ported it to 1.2 in April. It's the Notion Ink Adam EDEN UI, ported to the GTAB.
I don't think anyone's ported the zPad interface to 1.2, tmk. Although technically the newer zPad ROMs are 1.2-based themselves. I mention the Adam a lot, but I keep forgetting that the zPad is almost identical to ours and they moved to 1.2 a few months back, I believe.

how hard is it to make a zpad rom compatible with 1.2?
is it hard to port roms, i kinda want to start learning. Im decent at themeing.

The original zPad (Wifi) and our GTAB have identical hardware. Rothnic used to create mods of the zPad firmware, and it was mainly rooting it, altering the language to English and tweaking the apps as needed. But all the hardware worked as-is, including the camera. The original zPad firmware was 1.1 dev branch based, just like our GTAB was.
I heard that the zPad T2 is, I believe, 1.2 based. But don't quote me on that as I've never messed with that fimware (last update was in March, as per a quick Google search). If Malata managed to create a full GB or HC ROM for the zPad, we should be able to easily port that to the GTAB, easier than even the Adam.
As for ease, it's mainly a lot of trial and error, and lots of nvflashing when you soft-brick it. Even with the zPad, there's build.prop changes and app changes to make it more English friendly. Plus Gapps, of course.

There's a cm7.1 RC for the harmony platform? ?? Cool! I didn't know that

Beastly + Clemsyn Kernel is Froyo and based on 1.2 bootloader. Another great one from the Adam Developers.

I personally had both Calkulin's + Clemsyn and Beasty's + Clemsyn for my daily use for a while. Both rom perform supper well. supper snappy. the only problem for me is froyo does not support "wifi location" and it is unfixable as far as I know. I also get excited about the honeycomb rom for gtablet and use Roebeet's great BOS for a while. The UI is beautiful and it is reasonably stable and perform after 4.0. However, it is too laggy for my taste because of the lack of opengl support. The reason why I compile these roms are: I want the speed of those 2 great froyo roms. I also want to use a lot of applications that need wifi location support and I want to stay on 1.2.
The quadrant score of CM7.1RC + Clemsyn's is very close to the above 2 roms (around 4000 in my test). give CM7.1RC + Clemsyn or CM7.1RC + Pershoot a try if you like the speed of those 2 froyo's rom. You will be surprised by the performance of these 2 roms.

Thanks for the quick comparisons, I been on BoS and loving it but I'll try these out real quick for a day or two just to see how nice they are. And what you're saying is that these 2 do support wifi location right?

interesting.. any benchmark figures?
as an aside, not sure i understand the point in putting trial versions of software in a rom, ie. keyboard, music player and ram manager pro (?), doesnt serve any purpose in keeping it "lite", means people either just have to uninstall stuff or buy it.

Bro, Take note of the mention of our Official Blog...
BTW, A.I Type Keyboard is free (google Play) & the only trial Is N7 Music Player... Ram manager pro, I forgot to switch to free version... Taking care of it as we speak...
Your comments are noted of course...
That is all I will say regarding this issue (XDA rules & such)...

trial version.. ah.. replace them with other.

Bro, check out our official Blog... You won't be dissapointed

I helped with alpha and beta testing on the ROM and believe me guys, it is worth a try, if you check on our FB page you would see some of the early benchmarks, also I uploaded a video of the Alpha1 version and it was smooth as silk.
Give it a try, you won't be disappointed
UPDATE:
Guys just a heads up...I noticed that Reaper did not mention the following:
1. At first boot enter the "SpeedUp" app and select "Fastest Speed" then choose exit.
2. Open up RAM Manger and select Balanced - More Free memory
And you are good to go. You don't need to do this after reboots, the settings are saved

No doubt one of the fastest roms. 2D performance is great.
Though, you should really NOT use superSU. At boot it's a *****, slowing the phone to beyond a simple lag.
Also, bounce animation is jerky, if you're wanting a custom animation I'd suggest fly in or blur.

Hi @consegregate... your comments are really appreciated... I wondered about SuperSU against SuperUser & I have also noticed that at boot phone will only complete initialization after SuperSU has asked for its permissions & not before, which can as you pointed out, take an age...
I have got a new project "The Minimalist" rom due for release soon (just tidying things up a bit)... This has been a solo project as @VRD1 now has full time employment (no time for deving)... I have tried to implement everything I have learned into this project & performance tests show my next rom to be the fastest yet with great multi-tasking capabilities...
Bounce animations have been ditched in favor of "Rudolph" which is very smooth in my rom...
Stay tuned... RC1 due for release soon...
Again, thanx for positive comments... It tells me I am doing things right, hehehe...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky... :silly:

Freshly built Android 4.4.4 ROM based on Omnirom KitKat !
The Team 'IconiaHD' is proud to present a new ROM for your Acer A500 or A501 tablet.
This small team is composed of:
- HenrikE: A200 owner, responsible for an unofficial CM-10.2 build for the A200
- Doume: A200 owner, experienced linux developer
- macia10: A501 owner, tester
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is essentially the same rom as we published for the A200 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693179 and here: http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a200-roms/10043-rom-a200-omnirom-kitkat-4-4-2-a.html
We have now modified our sources to support also the A500!
Why Omnirom, and not Cyanogenmod ?
Google , through AOSP repository, has dropped support for the Tegra 2 platform. The Tegra 2 does not support the 'neon' instruction set, and more importantly relies on a set of old (ICS) proprietary hardware libraries. AOSP has dropped support for both non-neon devices and the older hardware libraries.
Cyanogenmod has decided to follow AOSP on this and has dropped Tegra 2 support since CM-10.2. With CM-10.2 the differences were not yet very big and could be overcome. But with CM-11 it has become an unreasonably large effort to add Tegra 2 support.
Only Omnirom, for now, has included the forward-ported code in its repository to support machines like Acer A500
How to install
Recovery
To flash this rom, it's necessary to have a recent recovery (at least CWM 6.0.4.4 or TWRP 2.6.3.1) having Selinux capabilities.
Otherwise the flash operation fails with status 0 or status 7. There are also some problems installing GApps with Thor's recovery v.1.8.1.
We recommend using CWM 6.0.4.5 by nelsontky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583710
Flashing
Boot in recovery mode to flash the KitKat Rom.
First, don't forget to execute a 'Wipe Data/Factory reset'
Flash the KitKat Rom
Flash the Minimal Gapps
Do a 'wipe cache partition'
Flash the SuperSU zip file if you need it
Flash the Netflix fix if you need it
And reboot System !
Be patient on first boot... There's a lot of background work to do, before coming to the 'Welcome' screen. Don't worry if you are stuck with a black screen for several minutes. Next boot will be much faster.
After first configuration, it's recommended to reboot the tablet to avoid some unstabilities after 1st boot.
Enjoy KitKat !

GApps are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
For the A200 the Pico package is the only one that is small enough so we generally recommend that. The A500 has more space in the system partition and should be able to use the larger packages as well.
SuperSU is here: (needed only if you wish to have a full rooted access)
SuperSU is needed for root, get the latest CWM flashable zip from here:
[2014.02.06] SuperSU v1.93 - xda-developers
Netflix fix for builds 1-4 (not needed for build 5) is here: netflixfix.zip
Flash in recovery. It will just copy this simple script to init.d. It is run during boot and changes a setting in the Netflix configuration to use a player backend that works with the Tegra 2. This is a workaround for a bug in Netflix that makes it choose a video player backend that is incompatible with the Tegra 2. The config file is created the first time Netflix is started, so the very first time you start Netflix it will force close. After that, reboot, and then Netflix should work.
Remember : in all cases, it's a good idea to make a backup before installing!
We're not responsible, in any way, if you brick your tablet!
Big thanks to:
- the Omnirom team
- pjsports for the A500 JB kernel and device tree
- nelsontky for building the recovery
- and everyone else that has been working on the Iconia A500 / A200!
The kernel, and the device tree are available at GitHub: IconiaHD Github

Known issues:
All builds
Noise in audio playback, caused by a too low default minimum CPU frequency. Solved by increasing minimum frequency to 312 MHz.
-In Settings / About tablet, tap build number 7 times until you get a message "you are now a developer". This enables the performance menu.
-In settings / Performance, increase minimum cpu frequency to 312 MHz. Also tick "set on boot" to make it permanent.

I'd really prefer to see someone port a clean working copy of CyanogenMod 11 to this device, personally. the TegraOwners team already has a working port of OmniRom on the A500, which is a little laggy, but otherwise fully functional(including netflix, sound recorder, etc.)

Well then why not try doing it yourself?
The main idea with this rom is to provide an open source alternative for the A500. Not everyone appreciates the closed source policy at the "other forum".

sorry, I sort of worded my post a little harshly and it came out wrong.
I'm actually plenty happy to see an alternative to their roms, and to see that someone is working on the A500 at all.
I meant to say that although it's nice to see, I would personally rather see someone try to port it(even if it's a failed attempt, and post their results so others can try and help out), even though it's a lot of work and a lot harder than AOSP at the moment.
Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge or skills to get any rom working on any device. I've even tried compiling roms before, and failed. Maybe someday!

Ok no problem. We actually did try to build CM first. But we could never get it to display the user interface because of the missing support for our graphics libraries. When we realized how big the effort would be to get it working, and that support was already available in OmniROM, we switched. I don't know about Thor, but I'm guessing his reason for switching to omni were similar.
Our sources for cm11 are on github, in branch "cm11" and only in the a200 device tree. It's a fair bit behind the OmniROM version now though. It would be better to take the omnirom branch and modify it back to CM format. The differences between CM and Omni device trees are not very big.
Edit: I should add that the challenging part would be to modify the CM android_frameworks_av and android_frameworks_native packages to add support for the tegra2 libraries. There alse seems to be a quite new bug in the CM build system that makes it compile in neon instructions even when it shouldn't.

Prefer anything over CM, thanks! I'll have to reroot since I upgraded to the latest version of ICS. I'll report back any issues.

Henrik & the team, many thanks for your efforts. I never thought Kitkat would ever reach the shores of the A500. I thought all Rom support had all but ended.

Nice work, I thought for sure that we would never see 4.4 on an A500. I have it flashed and running. I tried Netflix and it force closes. Also the video recording doesn't work.

Yes, overclocking is included. You just have to enable it in the developer options.

I found a workaround for Netflix here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_hardkernel_odroidu2/blob/cm-10.2/conf/98netflix
It seems to work also on this rom, it displays the interface now instead of just closing. But nobody in the team has a Netflix account so we haven't been able to get further than that. I made a simple flashable zip to install the fix. Simply flash it in the recovery. It will just copy one file, and not touch anything else. The download link is in the first post.

Flashed and it worked. I was able to stream and all good. Awesome!

USB Device Not Recognized
Hey everyone,
Sorry if this is a dumb question... I just picked up an A500 tonight, and can't get the USB drivers to work. Specifically, when I plug in the cable I get "USB Device Not Recognized". As a result, I can't get into boot loader mode, etc. I downloaded the Acer driivers, the Universal Android Drivers, etc, and it does the same for all of them. Any ideas?
Thanks!

It cannot be installed to k900. k900 and k910 are 2 complete different devices with different chipsets.

ROM seems worthy of attention.Probably already seen something like this
If you will be improved and refined, will be the best..
I tried to fix google services by Chinese installer, did not help.
I need to have a working phone, so far rom uninstalled.
Correct, and insert the fully operational.
Best regards and I look forward to a great rom

THIS IS FOR K910 ONLY
I'm perfectly awhere that this is a K900 fórum, yet XDA-DB doesn't have K910 on Devices and Forums witch is mandatory to open a thread as development with DB, so...READ THE FIRST LINE and don't post something that it's already written here. If you feel bad about it, report to moderators

Probably...yes

The ROM looks great after couple of hours but I have 1 very annoying problem with this ROM: google play services, google play store and other google apps are crashing very often. Does anyone have idea, why? Wipe cache&davlik cache done. I also played with other GAPPS, but no success. I also read somewhere that xposed can cause, so I removed it also, but I run out of ideas...

(///////////////////////////////)​ FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions​
-Will you make this for the T705, T800, T805, T-whatever ?
I only own the T700, which allows me to test the builds myself and to ensure the best experience for that model.
However, the T800 will probably get some love soon and I will post a test build in the near future, since it is easy to develop for wifi only models.
As for the T805, I think that variant runs with a Snapdragon chip, so it would be very unlikely to see my rom for you guys. But then again, I might be very kind one day and try to make a test build, stay tuned
___
-Will 'superdupergreatdabeast' custom Kernel v.1318342 with overclocking at 2884092GHz (help I've fried my tablet) work on this ROM? Will Synapse work ? SELinux Permissive ?
Yes, and feel free to use any Kernels that are compatible with Lollipop touchwiz I might include my own soon.
___
-How come Netflix or (insert any google play store apps here) doesn't work ? WHY ? WAT U DO FOR NO WORKING SIR
My ROM is based on Official firmware, and although the stock kernel used has init.d enabled, it is still a very stock kernel, in no way modified. So your problem with said app is related to the developer behind this app not working properly on Stock Touchwiz 5.0.2; Blame Samsung, not me :angel:

Been waiting for this. ?
«Sent from my not-so-stock T700»™

Very excited for this ROM, will there be an option to add back some of the non-crucial Samsung apps if we want them?

Depending on the app, you could either pull the apk or perhaps someone might have it. Presuming the OP doesn't have an option on install (like aroma).

This made my weekend.

Yay, a zip based LL install! Much more convenient than Odin (in my opinion of course )
Thanks!

I'm excited too!! Looking forward to this.

Thanks boss for efforts.
I must say, may be my opinion is in minority, any twz rom has no sense with this crazy tiny interface. It is way to small for me... I us now any aosp/ cm rom with 384 or 400 dpi and it fits perfectly for me.

Thanks for the support guys I'm uploading it as we speak, check out the download section for the screenshot Should be ready in around 2 hours; and yes, my upload speed is terrible
I've decided to release an early Release Candidate build because there is one tiny issue with the fingerprint lock method, it says that "an error has occured with the fingerprint sensor' when you choose the option in Lock Screen.
It might be a small issue with the fingerprint apk after it has been deodexed because it works with odex files. Still trying to sort this issue out. But other than that, the whole ROM is working perfectly as expected, so I didn't want to keep you guys waiting
I'll upload a small update file once I fix the problem so that you guys can flash it on top of the Release Candidate ! Anyways heading to uni, should be uploaded when I get back

I agree to an extent.
A "non tiny" TW rom would be perfect.

By 'non tiny', do you mean a bigger interface ? Yeah, I suppose I could work on that. Once I get a stable release, I was thinking about theme-ing the SystemUI and framework res anyways.

Yeah, I mean the font size across applications such as gmail, Facebook, but most importantly...Chrome!
Adjusting the system font size unfortunately doesn't help....the system menus just become too huge.
Anyway, it's not a huge deal.

THE ROM IS UPLOADED ! HAPPY FLASHING I'm using this as a daily driver for the last 15hours, and haven't found any issues apart from the fingerprint one. So you should have no problem, but if you do, don't hesitate to share it with me, I'll be happy to help

cheers mate, installing now.

With dpi 380 or 400 (stock is 320) everything is set perfectly. Then just small font adjustments for system and/ or specific apps which have this option...

Strange... did all the recommendation before flashing ROM (tick system in mount, latest TWRP...) and stuck at Samsung Galaxy Tab S Logo (first phase). I've waited 15 mins and still bootlooping... what I did wrong?

Hmm, have you checked the md5 to make sure you got a good download of the ROM? Something like that happened with my Note 4..
